fact

Novell NetWare 5.1

symptom

Broker SRS binding to server's Primary IP Address.

Error: "NDPSM-2.20-280. Error (327682) occurred while creating a Service Registry reference."

Error: "NDPSM-2.11-280. Error (327682) occurred while creating a Service Registry reference."

Error: "-818 Error occurred while registering printer agent <printer agent name> with the SRS."

NDPS unable to connect to an SRS broker, even though broker with SRS enabled is running on same NetWare server and NDPSM.

Running DISPLAY SLP SERVICES SRS.NOVELL at the server console fails to show SRS service running on local server.

cause

This has been submitted as an enhancement for the Broker to be able to load with an option,  /IPADDRESS=X.X.X.X, similar to the Manager.

fix

This has been fixed with the following updates:

BROKER.NLM v3.00d dated 25MAR2002 or later.
NTFYSRVR.NLM v3.00d dated 25MAR2002 or later.
REGSRVR.NLM v3.00f dated 25MAR2002 or later.
RMANSRVR.NLM v3.02d dated 25MAR2002 or later.

These modules will be available in NDP21P4.EXE.  They will also be made available in NW51SP5.EXE and NW6SP2.EXE, if and when those patches become available.

KNOWN ISSUES:  The only known issue with the above mentioned modules is the Broker (and other modules) will bind to the internal IPX address of the NetWare server, even if that server does not have IPX bound to it.  This can be seen by using DSBROWSE and looking at the network address attribute on the NDPS Broker object.  This issue will be addressed in NW51SP5.EXE and NW6SP2.EXE, if and when those patches become available.  You can work around this by loading the NDPS Broker with the /NOIPX switch.
